Kyle Rittenhouse - teen who shot three people in Kenosha

[Malt_Vinegar]

So now you're saying the victims history needs to be taken into account and this somehow justifies their killing? You should look through all the people that died on 9/11 and find some who's murder was justified because of their past too!

Wow, you went there.. well done. You know full well that's completely different.

Sadly moderators are not allowed to put users on ignore!!

I'm not gonna argue with the Jury's decision, they sat through it and discussed it - I think based on that it's a fair verdict.

Hopefully all the lunatic ultra lefties don't tear the town up tonight..

Nah, everyone is going to getting their Xmas shopping done early and at 5 finger discount prices!

Whaaaat?

There will be some that are hoping for this and will be there with guns. And I don't mean the police.

It could well escalate the level of violence at these 'protests' for both sides.. but the simple answer to that is .... Don't ******* riot

I’m seeing urgent calls for Roof Koreans across the USA.

LOL no I didn't say that, learn to read.

These weren't normal people, every single person he shot or shot at seems to have been a criminal - whether it was someone who bummed small boys and was let out of a mental ward that morning or someone who was into kidnapping and abusing women.

That's exactly what you said. Right there. You're implying in some way because they had a criminal history that somehow it was justified or they deserved it?

Again, learn to read... where was that implied?

Try thinking about context, this isn't hard, what does the sentence before that one deal with?

Normal people, the implication (literally spelled out for you in the line before) being that most normal people wouldn't chase and attack someone carrying an AR-15. It's not that hard to follow, go back to the post and read more carefully...

don't go and start fights with people carrying AR15s is something most normal people can manage to do.

These weren't normal people though, every single person he shot or shot at seems to have been a criminal -[...]

The implication is there by even making the statement. 'these were bad people!' it doesn't really matter does it?

 

[deuse]

Fortunately the Jury had common sense on their side rather than obscure abstract reasoning like @Jono8 and @Screeeech

This.

Well done the Kyle team.

 

[Johno please?]

They did deserve it, but because of their aggressive actions not their background.

Don't attack someone with a firearm and you wont get shot, its not even complex.

Look, you've got some issues with reading comprehension so I suggest using the quote function - the statement was these weren't normal people, if you deliberately misquote it then it's going to make even less sense to you in the context of the sentence immediately before it and you're already quite bad at not just reading that post but even failing to get basic facts about this whole case correct.

Oh absolutely, but their history shouldn't matter. I've blocked him anyway, I think the only person on here I have.

Past behaviour can at times be an accurate predictor of future behaviour. Considering how many people were there at the time, don't you find it odd that the only people involved in attacking kyle have some sort of criminal activity in their past.


Also good he was found not guilty. Glad to see his life wasn't ruined for political gains.

 

[Moley]

So I wonder which MSM outlets are going to get sued by Rittenhouse first.....

No one said their criminal history was important re: the self-defence claim itself FFS, stop making up arguments that weren't made. It was mentioned in relation to their behaviour - most people wouldn't start attacking someone with an AR-15, some crazy paedo guy with a literal death wish (fresh out of the hospital that moring after a suicide attempt) might though...

There's a reason past criminal history isn't allowed to be disclosed to Jurists.

Loving /pol/ at the moment.

You need to put all that in context.

THe whole case was shifted so that it all hinged on provocation by Rittenhouse.. and framed as if he was the original aggressor..

The criminal exploits (and backed up by all the video evidence shown) of the people killed/injured is a factor in all this..

Who was most likely to really have started this and been the aggressor?
Rittenhouse, someone that was a lifeguard, known for helping others, cleaning graffiti off walls, putting our dumpster fires (ironically what got him in this situation!), Or
Rosenbaum et al, all with criminal pasts, some very violent, and all the video evidence showing their behaviour during the riot and then chasing after Rittenhouse?

Even though their criminal pasts wasn't heard by the Jury doesn't mean we can't put 2+2 and come up with 4..

You have the wrong way around they were not shot because of their history but beacuse of their actions and words on the night.

But the common theme is that all thoosen shot were already nasty pieces of work being a bunch of variously racist, violent, sex offenders.

Hence these peope are not 'normal people' comment.

Very glad to hear the not guilty verdict.
